I think it's kind of rich to hear the founder of a major platform describe his unpaid moderators as dukes and duchesses but okay

lmao

This is depressing

I have no problem with this. Technically, moderators who lock their subs are inactive. They provide no value to Reddit, therefore the most direct cause of the shutdown - the mods - should be removed.

Well that surely wouldn't backfire in the most spectacular way ever. I mean, it's not as if Reddit has ever had any vote brigading and botting issues, right? Right?

This is just an absolutely fucking dismal idea.

I can't think of a more surefire way to ruin the site than make it so that the mob can tear down anyone who sets a quality bar any higher than they like.
